A Notorious Desperate Killed.

SANTA FE, N. NJ, March 3O.-lt
was reported here last night that
Marine Leyba, the notorious outlaw
and desperate, and leader OF the gang
who terrorized Central New Mexico
for six months, had been killed while
resisting arrest near Antelope Springs,
seven miles south of here. The report
is confirmed to-day by Joaquin Mon
terra and Carlos Jaconie, with the body.
They were deputized by Sheriff
Chavez of Santa Fe county to make
the arrest, and met Leyba on the
mountain trail while on the lookout
for him. When ordered to surrender
the outlaw pulled a pistol, and Mon
terra and Jaconie pulled theirs. Then
the three shots sounded like one.
Montera got a bullet through his hat,
but Leyba fell dead at his feet, shot
through the head. Leyba led the
gang that murdered Col. Charles Pot
ter, stepson OF Governor Vanzandt of
Rhode Island, in the Dolores noun
tains in 1880, and buried the body,
after taking several hundred dollars
from it. -Four of the gang were cap
tured by Sheriff Armitage, and taken
to Albuquerque, where they were
lynched. Leyba, the fifth member,
hid in the mountains, but came out
and began operations again after all
the witnesses were dead. He was
afterwards convicted for stealing, and
sent up for five years in the p%eniten-
tiary. When discharged, six months
ago, he Immediately returned to the
fourishing mining country, and reor-
ganized a gang. They would shoot
up towns, steal horses and rob trav-
elers. Their last outrage was the
murder and robbery of Lackey and
Tester, neal Antelope Springs.
These men owned 10000 sheep.
Lackey was killed in his house and his
body burned, and Tester was shot in
the back while running. Two of Ley
ba's gang we're arrested for the MUIR
der, and are now held for trial. A
reward OF $1,000 was offered for
Leyba. His death will break up the
gang. A great many people visited
the Santa Fe Jail to-day and viewed
the body. The people OF Southern
New Mexico are greatly pleased over
the death of the outlaw, and are
thoroughly organized for the suppress
| sion of the rest of the band.

A voodoo's Prophecy FuIaiied.
MACON, Ca, March 30.-Six out of
the eleven. persons who were poisoned
by the Voodoo Doctor Bonner, in
Baldwin county, are now dead, and
the five living will die. The sixth
death was that of the father, John
Harris. He openly expressed doubt
as 20 the powers possessed by the
Voodoo, w%hereupon the latter prophe-
sised, that fer this want of faith, not
one Of the Harrises should live the
month through. The father alone,
who had not eaten much of the fatal
meat, recovered sufficiently to move,
but when he recovered he was a raw
ing maniac, and had to be confined to
the lunatic asylum. He had a fearful
vision, and would not eat, for fear of
being poisoned, and soon died in
terrible contortions. The news from
the settlement is that the survivors
cannot live much longer. so that
it is Likely that the Voodoo's pro-
phesy will be fulfilled and that not one
of the family will live to see the new
moon come in. AS soon as the white
people learned the facts Bonner was
hidden by the colored people, and has
not yet been found.
